I use a lot of tricks when working everyday with all of the features of the Mendix Platform so I would like to share these with you. Please let me and the community know what your tips and tricks are below (as answer)
I deploy from the modeler. Saves switching to the browser, click Create package, select correct branch etc. Just click on Team->Deploy to licensed cloud and press deploy. Only you have to do is transport it to the correct environment. Choosing this would be a nice feature (placed it on the idea forum)
Restore full backups from the cloud with a batch script (see scripts). It saves you opening PGadmin, search your database, backup it, delete it, create new, find your backup and restore it. Simply drag your downloaded backup onto the batch script a hit the magic 'Any key' :)
Restore databases also with a script.
Set you mousewheel on double click or a custom button if you have a fancy gamers mouse ;)
Learn to do as much as possible with your keyboard. Ctrl+Enter is I guess the most used combination I use during the day (inspired by https://www.mendix.com/blog/6-mendix-shortcuts/)
Use in the WIndows Explorer the feature Quick access (or pinned folders) and drag your running project folders there for quick access to your projects.
With widget development I use grunt or semi automated with a batch script for packaging you widget into a .mpk (see scripts )
Shotcuts in your browser bookmark bar, quickly open your common locations like http://localhost:8080/login.html
Turn off e-mailnotifications or check less frequent. E-mail distracts you from focused modelling
Greenshot is the best (free) screenshot tool there is (http://getgreenshot.org). It has a lot of features. If you want to attach a screenshot to your userstory press PrntScrn, Greenshot saves it always on the same location (which is also in the Quick Access of the Windows Explorer ;-))
Use a password manager for quick and secure login in your applications. Even during development you can use this. We use LastPass and even share project folders for easy sharing credentials. Trust me this saves a lot of time.
I measure my performance, activities and distractions with RescueTime on my work laptop and this gives me interesting insights in my daily work.
